RULES: 

1)  The polls will close 1 week from posting, which is Wednesday, March 30th at approx. 9:30 a.m. (Pacific time), so be sure to let everyone know!!!

2)  When voting, please keep in mind that you are voting for the actual pirate–and not their entire crew.

3)  Be honest with your vote–if you really think Pirate A would win against Pirate B, have justification for it.  In fact, we encourage a healthy debate over this.

4)  Only VOTE ONCE for each poll!  The polls are designed to allow a user only one vote; however, some people have managed to vote more than once. Excessive voting for one pirate may result in a penalty or possible pirate elimination.  (We’ve got our eye on you Black Pirate.)

5)  Please do us a favor and be sure to vote in each poll of each round, so the statistics match.
